PRE-SCHOOL kids helped to celebrate ten years of Busy Bees Nursery on Saturday.

The nursery, based in Phoenix Square, in Wyncolls Road, Colchester, invited families to enjoy a fun day and to meet cartoon hero Fireman Sam.

Jodie Cherry, nursery manager, said: “I couldn’t have asked for a better day and the children really loved Fireman Sam.

“We have just had our refurbishment finished and it was great to be able to show parents our new facilities.”

About 300 people came through the nursery doors to celebrate and everyone was given a piece of a giant birthday cake.

The nursery caters for kids aged from three months to five-years-old and is open Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6pm.
